Android notifications are a necessary evil of the smartphone age. They act as message bearers for some apps notifying an app about important messages, emails, ongoing discounts, missed calls, etc.
If you look at the masses, surely the majority of users use Android smartphones and Windows PCs. Although the operating systems in both platforms are different, thankfully there is a common bridge between the two. And this is an Android app, or rather a Windows app for Android.
Cortana for Android helps bridge the gap in the notification system between Windows 10 and Android, and helps get Android Notifications on Windows 10 PCs.
The good thing about this app is that you can manually choose which apps you want to receive notifications for and bam! With the necessary settings, it will only take a few minutes before you can access everything right from your system.
So without further delay, let’s briefly summarize the steps.
Prerequisites
- Cortana is enabled on both Android and Windows 10.
#first. Tweaking Cortana’s Settings in Android
Once Cortana has been downloaded to your phone, sign in with the same credentials you used to sign in to Windows. Once logged in, go to the settings panel and tap Sync notifications.
Our weapon of choice, in this case, is Sync app notifications select. All you have to do is switch the button to Yes and select the application from the window.
At this point, our recommendation is to turn on only the important apps — messaging, email clients, etc. If all apps are enabled, ringing from both PC and phone could push you in wall foot.

#2. Tweak Cortana’s Settings in Windows 10
Now comes the Windows 10 setup. One point to note is that the login information — both on the PC and on the phone — needs to be from the same ID. So, in case you are logged in through a local ID, you can easily exchange that ID with a Microsoft account quite easily.
Go to Cortana settings and scroll down to ‘Send notifications between devices‘ and enable this setting. Once done, any notifications that reach your phone will also be replicated in your Windows 10 PC.
In case you miss a message, a click on the Action Center will show all incoming messages.
The best thing about this feature is that you can also turn it off anytime you want and when you need it back, turn it back on from settings.
Furthermore, you can also save notification settings for individual apps. All you need to do is tap Edit sync settings and tap each app.
Did you know that with Windows 10’s Cortana update, you can also send messages from your PC? All you need to do is add your contacts to the People app and ask Cortana to send a message.
It’s a wrap!
So this is an extremely easy to use way you can enable Android notifications in Windows 10. Since Cortana app is still in Beta mode, sometimes it may not work as expected. But given our busy schedules, a notification that pops up in the corner of the screen is very welcome.
